01 -
Get your waffle iron heated up. If it has heat settings, pick medium-high so you’ll get a good crisp on the waffles.
02 -
Combine the shredded potatoes, cheese, and seasoned salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir until the seasonings and cheese are spread out evenly.
03 -
Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray or a bit of oil using a brush to keep the mixture from sticking.
04 -
Scoop out roughly 1 cup of the hash brown mix and spread it across the waffle iron. Close it up tightly, and cook until they’re golden and crispy. Don’t worry about the steam—it’s part of the process!
05 -
Eat the waffles right away for the best crunch. If you’re holding off for later, let them cool on a wire rack so they stay crispy.
